nPr Calculates the number of possible permutations of n items taken r at a time. The order of objects is important, as in a race.

nCr Calculates the number of possible combinations of n items taken r at a time. The order of objects is not important, as in a hand of cards.

!The factorial of n is the product of the positive integers from 1 to n. n must be a positive whole number 69.

RAND Generates a random real number between 0 and 1. To control a sequence of random numbers, store an integer (seed value) 0 to
